Got my new assessment today. My condo dropped another six percent in value.
Got my W-4 this week. Yes, I’m earning more, but I’m paying more in total taxes than I grossed during some years of my working career—including just a few years ago, when I was struggling to get back on my feet. Oh, and I can’t even file for my refund for another week and a half. (I’ve increased my withholding; thought I took care of that last year but really underestimated the difference a mortgage makes.)
The price of food, gas, and many other things are up.
So glad that the recession is over and the administration has a handle on the economy.
Yes, that was definitely sarcasm.
Actually as long as you intend to live there it is good news for you. Hopefully this will mean that your taxes will go down. The only time it will make a difference is if you want to sell it. Until that time, it does not matter what the official assessment might be, unless the bank tries to ask you to pay more on your mortgage.
